Divine Bourrage - definitely was a scorer in HS. She has not looked for her shot at all in Illinois. She seems very tentative on the floor. Not aggressively playing defense or trying to get her shot. When she touches the ball she passes it away immediately.

SR year: 18.3 points, 8.7 rebounds, 5.8 assists, 2.6 steals, and a 1.80 assist-to-turnover ratio per game. Her team was 18-6 class 5A which largest 40 schools in Iowa. her HS had 1190 students.

Divine has demonstrated skills which could make her Illinois top player. Don't know why she is sitting most of the game and being tentative versus aggressive when she gets in the game. Coaches should just give her a green light and turn her loose. If they do, I imagine she would play her way into a groove and jell with Destiny, Cearah, Aaliyah, Berry, Manuella, Maddie, Gretchen, Jasmine and Lety. Best shooters on this team now are Aaliyah and Cearah and Divine could become one.
